IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
The Avenue, BOURNEMOUTH, BH9 2UU

A short one-segment road at the northern end of a long area of criss-cross roads on this western side of the main Wimborne Road, forming a series of squares. However, at this northern end, the three main north-south roads – Wimborne Road, The Avenue and The Grove sort of converge on one another, and Linden Road therefore runs in a quirky curve. The fine detached houses that typify the whole area give way to bungalows on the northern side. The road sign is a standard one from around 2000-2006, perhaps a little earlier, featuring the borough coat of arms. This is photo no.244 of a series of 453 in my coronavirus lockdown walking project: See https://www.geograph.org.uk/article/My-2020-Coronavirus-Lockdown-walking-project for the complete set of photos.

Moordown Baptist Church is tucked away behind the houses of The Avenue (here) and The Grove (behind).

One of the latticework of roads which sees The Grove, The Avenue and the main Wimborne Road running parallel, with a series of short roads crossing them. Some cover both segments while others, such as Grenfell Road, only make half the journey. The sign is the standard Bournemouth nameplate from the 1980s, affixed with tubular steel which protrudes at each side.

One of the several west-east roads in Moordown, crossing between The Grove, The Avenue and Wimborne Road which run north-south. Some of these roads have two segments, but Comber Road is one of the single-segment roads. The houses in the background, desirable detached ones, exemplify the whole area. The road sign is a standard one from around 2000-2006, perhaps a little earlier, featuring the borough coat of arms.

A small cul-de-sac of reasonably modern (1970s?) houses swinging around the corner behind the backs of houses on the main Wimborne Road. The sign is a modern one - it is only in the last couple of years that Bournemouth Borough Council stopped including its name in smaller type at the top of the sign, perhaps in readiness for local government reorganisation in April 2019 which saw the borough council replaced by BCP (Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole) council. The no-through-road sign incorporated within the nameplate is a fairly common arrangement, and the previous sign clearly didn't have one because the original accompanying sign remains alongside.
